Fantasy football 2022: Miami Dolphins preview

Knowledge is power and the greatest asset you can acquire in order to compete for a fantasy football championship.

Here's your 2022 preview of the Miami Dolphins, the 26th of 32 team profiles during draft season:

— 2022 Fantasy MVP: Tyreek Hill, WR

For those who are worried Hill (ADP: 23) won't produce simply because he doesn't have Patrick Mahomes under center anymore, let me remind you he finished as fantasy's WR4 in standard formats (WR9 in PPR) in 2017 with Alex Smith as his quarterback. For those Tua Tagovailoa (ADP: 127) truthers out there, Smith actually finished as the QB4 that year.

— 2022 Fantasy Sleeper: Chase Edmonds, RB

Miami signed several running backs this offseason and that has likely suppressed Edmonds' (ADP: 79) draft stock. That just means more value for you. Edmonds was the only one of those running backs who received significant money. He's a dynamic receiver out of the backfield and could thrive in new head coach Mike McDaniel's offensive scheme.

— 2022 Fantasy Bust: Jaylen Waddle, WR

Waddle (ADP: 47) led Miami with 140 targets in 2021. The only other player on the roster who surpassed 100 targets was tight end Mike Gesicki with 112. McDaniel ran an offense in San Francisco that passed the ball 101 fewer times than the Dolphins last season. It's tough to imagine Waddle repeating the usage from his impressive rookie season with Hill healthy.

— 2022 Fantasy Rookie to watch: Erik Ezukanma, WR

Ezukanma (ADP: NA) is a fourth-rounder out of Texas Tech who just completed a very impressive preseason — he finished with 10 receptions for 156 yards. He's got wheels for a 6-foot-2 receiver who specializes in jump balls.
